Cythraul:As for the article itself, the Onion's being a bit soft on this one, not very controversial. But that should probably be expected after such a tragedy. Probably better than a 'too soon?' moment.

SpikeStrip:just a matter of days before people resume griping about insignificant "problems"

Remember the article on Fark a few months back where a couple was fighting because she listened to Carlie Rae Jepsen on his Spotify account and it posted updates to his Facebook timeline and he was getting all kinds of grief from his indie bandmates?

You're lucky you're as young as you are. Back in my day, Every Word Was Capitalized All The Time. It was the fashion, along with wearing an Onion on our belts. Why we wore fake newspapers on our belts makes no sense.

There are some others in the sidebar.

For example, Authorities: Sadly, There Are Many People Who Could Have Done This would have made an excellent actual press release. Sigh.

That's probably the most level-headed and cogent article I've seen about the whole thing, sadly enough.

My coffee is cooler than I'd like but it's a 12 foot walk to the microwave!

That's nothing. My beer is too warm.

I chipped my fingernail on the index finger on my left hand and nobody has any fingernail clippers. Which means I am going to have to contend with this chipped nail for the next three hours. It really is unfair how distressing life can be.

plewis:That Onion article is both funny and depressing simultaneously.

Personally, I think their post 9/11 issue was the most cathartic thing I've ever seen in humor. Those were MEAN laughs and much appreciated.

I couldn't agree more. Hijackers Surprised To Find Selves In Hell was the first really good laugh I had after 9/11. Upon re-reading it today, I still chuckle. I became an even bigger fan of The Onion after their post 9/11 issue...
